Great, couple of missing features

I love this app. It’s much easier to use then Reddit, I haven’t encountered any could not upvote errors, and so on. My major issue is you can’t post a video. This means you are forced to use Reddit if you ever post which is a headache considering my experiences with uploading to Reddit. Add that and the app is pretty much done


Bring back peek & pop PLS

I miss 3D Touch so much. Please implement it peek and pop some other way!


One pet peeve

You can download gifs (though it’s converted to video for some reason) and you can download images, but for whatever reason you can’t do that with videos


One of the best apps I’ve found, but some major issues

I love using this app. It feels much cleaner and streamlined than the main Reddit app, and feels more like old reddit than anything else. My biggest concern, and why this app is 3 stars rather than 4, is that recently ads have become much more invasive. I don’t mind the banner ads that are occasionally at the bottom, or ads occasionally between posts while scrolling. What has become invasive is that there are now auto-play video ads that randomly take over the screen. They also sometimes open a browser and redirect to an ad page without being clicked. This is unacceptable and has caused me to research using another third party app or even switching to the native Reddit app. More minor issues I have: - lack of support for reading wikis and sidebars through the app instead of in-app browser. - lack of ability to add flair to posts or view user flairs as icons in comments


One of my most-used apps

Great app. I enjoy the gesture-based navigation. However, there seems to be a bug with one of the gestures right now, where the “swipe from right” gesture doesn’t work while the scroll bar is visible on the screen. It’s actually quite an annoying bug, since I use that gesture so much. If I hadn’t been using this app for so long already (with all my preferred options, etc) I might choose another app for my reddit usage solely based on that.


Confusing.

Nothing explains how to use this app and I can’t figure it out. It’s not remotely intuitive. Tapping and long pressing both collapse comments, swiping opens the sidebar, so how do I upvote? The UI is terrible.


Was awesome but has fallen behind

I switched to iOS in 2017 and Narwhal was awesome then. I needed a ‘reddit is fun’ android replacement and it fit the bill. I reddited a lot (probably too much) then and I loved the app. However, recently I have found that more and more often there are bugs. Other reddit browsers don’t experience the same bugs. - imgur links to albums don’t work as intended - emoji don’t always appear, leaving comments to show as blank - new reddit awards do not appear on posts I’m too lazy to find a different one but honestly I don’t want to. I enjoy this app and I want it to do everything just a little better.


Imgur no longer works

Can’t view images or upload. App was ok but now it’s just broken.


The app is good but advertising is a security risk.

Advertisers have recently found a way to hijack the iOS background audio player to queue up 2 hour unstoppable loops of “live cam site” audio Horrifically embarrassing if you’re in a work meeting....but also likely a hacking risk via ads.
